House creator David Shore has claimed that a reunion between House and Cuddy is unlikely.

The couple split up in a recent episode of the Fox medical drama, following the maverick doctor's Vicodin relapse.

"People are good at some things and not good at other things," Shore told TV Guide. "As much as I'd love to see them together and I know the audience would love to see them together, House just isn't designed for comfort. He isn't designed for happiness."

He continued: "It's not really in [House's] nature, so it's going to be difficult."

Shore previously dismissed the notion that House and Cuddy could become an 'on-off' couple, saying: "I can't rule it out [but] I don't think so. I don't want to jerk the audience around."

Series star Lisa Edelstein (Cuddy) also suggested that her character will be forced to make "really extreme choices" in the aftermath of the break-up.
